• Building strong, supportive relationships with children, families, and co-teachers

• Modeling positive guidance and classroom management strategies

• Eager to learn - whether you're just starting out or have experience, you're excited to grow professionally

• Positive and patient - you bring a calm, supportive presence to the classroom
